I've probably wasted 90 minutes of my time this morning looking over video clips of Zuckerberg's dramatic time in front of the senators yesterday. I've come to three observations:
1. Any belief on Zuckerberg's part that he's prime material for the 2024 national election for President....is a joke. He did a marginal job of defending the company, and recent events. I do agree....geek-wise, he probably knows his stuff. But in terms of being a true CEO? No.....he's just not that kind of guy, and it'd be a joke for him to think in eight years.....he could run for President.
2. The defense of a liberal slant on management decisions because they are located in Silicon Valley? It was fairly amusing. A real CEO would have to realize the effect, and immediately reorganize the group, with the management folks being moved off to Wisconsin, or Michigan. Instead, they will just keep going forward with liberal-slant values and management practices.
3. Facebook is ultimately a 'tool' which can be used politically. Social media.....is not really social media....it's simply a mass-movement tool, to focus people on the newest problem, the newest hype, the newest frustration, and set the 'herd' upon the next problem. I think those people who look upon the Zuckerberg testimony from a distance.....will come to view Facebook as 'unsafe'.
